Crossings To Be Removed On State Roads

April 9, 1985

Motorists may want to look for alternate routes to State Roads 434 and 436 this week while railroad crossings are removed on both thoroughfares.

Work on the crossing on S.R. 434 just west of Interstate 4 near Markham Woods Road begins first, said Michael Beha of the state transportation department. Westbound lanes were scheduled to close shortly after midnight Monday and two-way traffic was to be routed to the eastbound lanes.

One westbound lane will reopen during the morning traffic rush from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. today. Westbound-lane paving starts at 9:30 a.m. and is expected to take about two hours.

Eastbound lanes on S.R. 434 will close soon after midnight tonight and one lane on that side will be open from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. Wednesday. Paving will begin at 9:30 a.m.

Law Contracting Corp. of Sanford, which is working under a contract with Seaboard System Railroad, will remove the railroad crossing at the intersection of S.R. 436 and Orange Avenue Thursday and Friday. Westbound lanes on S.R. 436 will close early Thursday and eastbound lanes will be closed Friday. One lane will remain open from 6:30 to 9:30 a.m. and paving begins at 9:30 a.m. both days.
